    People on this forum keep talking about players regressing and how we just keep screwing up the draft, but just look at the position this sexual harrassing ex-player scrub manages his rotations.

    When the team was losing he kept saying "he was focusing on development"

    Dude will say anything to cover his ass and play the his favorites

    Before someone says anything about matchups, Udoka has been cutting his minutes for 3 games straight now. He is doing whatever it takes to set Reed up to fail. The team turned it around after we started him and the opposing team stopped collapsing on Durant and Senguin

    No player says "not now...probably not ever" about a player he wants to do well. Unfortunately this team has gotten saddled with a sexual predator

    It is what it is, you can't expect too much from a 65 IQ head coach.

    Op exposing himself as a Reed only fan

    Okogie is playing well. Remember when I predicted Tari would break out of his slump and you freaked out?

    No bisch, you waited 20-30 games and then got 2 games where mercenary tari has been playable.

    you’re exposing your dumbass takes is all. Maybe pull up easons numbers? Embarrassing that you actually brought that up

    Josh is my guy, the fact he was ever DNP proves my point.

    Tari has hit double digit points in 6 of his last 8 games including tonight. That's breaking out of his slump.

    Saying that is not as embarrassing as making a thread complaining about rotations in the middle of a game where the team is blowing out another playoff team and on a 7 game win streak

    Purposefully misrepresenting a problematic, yet consensual situation with sexual assault as a basketball take is pretty ****ing weird.

    Reed needs 30 minutes a night and to be starting. Confirmation bias of beating mid to bad teams in the last few games as reason to not play him more is dumb.

    Sheppard hit two big threes in the second and went cold because he didn’t start the third and we ran zero plays for him, didn’t even involve him in the offense.

    Missed the game tonight. Surprised to see Reed getting only 19 minutes off the bench. Does anyone know the rationale?

    I’m like Reed’s harshest critic here as polloshermanos will contest and even I’m kind of surprised. Maybe Ime explained it in his presser….

    Reed has been 20 minute guy vs winning teams with good guard play all season.

    We didn’t play any of those in his 19 starts and that’s why he started.

    I called it last game. It’s been a consistent 3 games of cutting minutes

    we were winning so he thinks it all had nothing to do with Sheppard

    This guy is the worse thing to ever happen to this franchise
